ArundelMandible Carbon Cage(Return to Product Page)

Original price was always a bit too expensive, pulled the trigger when they were on sale. Great cage, very light, holds bottle in place. What more would you want.

Arundel makes an assortment of very good bike accessories. You can't go wrong by ordering their products.

Lightweight and works great with my camelback bottles, which I cannot say for other cages that I've tried. Very easy to retrieve and replace bottles while riding and not having to slow down or loose peddle strokes. Overall, I am very happy I got this cage since I haven't lost any bottles. The only negative is the price...

These are the best holding bottle cages Ive ever used, and very light.

Very light, looks good and I've never had a bottle ejected even on some rough gravel roads in 7 years of use. Expensive but they will last as long as your bike will.

Replacing a lighter carbon cage at same price point that cracked. This is marginally heavier (10 grams - who's counting that?), more stoutly built, and has a better grip. This will be my cage of choice going forward.

Pricey, but still a great value. I started using these eight years ago. At the time, they were not only the best carbon water bottle cages, they were the best water bottle cages available.

I finally ejected a water bottle from a Mandible. At the bottom of a steep hill in downtown LA, Street Maintenance put down two steel cover sheets with insufficient ramping. Both inner tubes blew out and a rim wall buckled. It takes an incident with that much force for an Arundel Mandible to eject a water bottle.

This is the perfect lightweight yet secure bottle cage - I love these so much I now have them on two high end carbon road bikes.

I lost two water bottles in races with my old cages. The Arundel have not let me down, especially at Snelling where there are some rough stretches.

My LBS carries the same product but at a considerably higher price. These are well made bike cages that will not release your bottle until you are ready to pull it from the cage. Cages are made locally, so I have to support them!

The mandible is a great holder, it looks really cool on my Ridley. I would have given it 5 stars but it's a little snug putting in an insulated bottle like the Camelbak. Other non-insulated bottles work great, your bottle will stay put.

On my frame I have King Ti cages. However, I have attach XLab Super Wing to my seat for long rides where I need more than two bottles. The Super Wing cages are at a more horizontal angle than the frame cages and I went through a few different cages before I bit the bullet and bought the Mandible. The only time I have lost a bottle in them is when I didn't put one in properly. They hold my Camelback Podiums very securely. They look great, too, with different colors and finishes to choose from. I am a very satisfied customer.

Hold the bottle tightly. Great looking design! Got a white and a black to compliment my white and black Pinarello.

I finally sprang for really nice cages on a fancy new bike. I've used cheap cages for years and had some nice Ti ones too (Blackburn) that finally broke after a decade. These are very spendy but it's really easy to get your bottles in and out and so far none of bounced loose on bumpy roads. I've used them a couple months. I'm hoping my bottles don't get as scuffed up too-I think this is the case.

This beats the Elite Pase carbon. A tough act to follow. Been through many high end cages.

If you are looking for a light bottle cage that is also secure on both road or mountain bikes this is a good choice. I've used these for hundreds of miles of road and MTB riding as well as XC racing. I've never lost a bottle and they show no signs of wear.

Worth the price, securely holds water bottles, I've never had an issue with it.

Great look. The matt black finish works well with my frame (also matt black).

Bottles are held securely and and the cages do not rattle. Very satisfied.

Let's face it, this isn't exactly a performance upgrade but if you're looking for a lightweight bottle cage that holds on tenaciously, this is a great choice. I replaced a set of aluminum cages with these and could hardly get the Camelbak Podium bottles in and out. Definitely don't have to worry about one slipping out on the trail.

I used King Ti cages on my Ti bikes but when I went carbon, a carbon cage seemed in order.

These are what went on my new Parlee and they are really nice.

Glad I went this route.
